Tasting Notes

Blackberry, black plum, and spice are layered with tobacco, toast, and savory herbs on a deeply expressive nose. The palate is lush yet energetic, offering ripe fruit, silky tannins, and a mouthfilling, balanced finish with cellar potential.

Food Paring

Reach for this Napa Cabernet with grilled steak, roast lamb, or braised short ribs when the meal calls for depth and polish. Its lush fruit and savory edge also make it a strong match for mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and aged cheeses.

Professional Reviews

95 Jeb Dunnuck

"Not yet bottled, the 2023 TD-9 is the same blend as the 2022 and is still resting in 100% new barrels. Red and black fruits, new leather, graphite, and some floral notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, layered, and has a great finish."

95 James Suckling

"A classic Napa Valley cabernet that shows vivid flavors of red and black cherries on a big, broad texture and full body. Fine-grained tannins add structure and shape on the palate, as brilliant raspberry and cranberry flavors meet bold and deep blackberry and blueberry notes. Drink now or hold."

92 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"Shafer's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon TD-9 was presented prior to bottling. It's a full-bodied, ripe, opulent style, supple and not overly tannic but still has enough backbone to partner a steak. Fruit-forward and dominated by black cherries and cassis, it finishes long and mouthwatering. "

92 Vinous

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon TD-9 is just as expressive as it was last year. Floral and savory notes open first in a mid-weight, delicate Cabernet Sauvignon that impresses with its approachability. TD-9 represents the more lifted, delicate side of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon."
